Pabllo Vittar with Guns is a blasting extreme metal project that collides black metal, death metal, and grindcore into an unapologetically confrontational package, flying the flag for LGBTQIA+ representation in the heaviest corners of the underground. Their 2023 debut EP announced them with six tracks of ferocious, deliberately lo-fi noise and a title that leaves no ambiguity about who they're playing for.
A solo project built around bass-driven doom and black metal, Paranoid Existence orbits themes of Greek mythology and occultism through sparse, heavy arrangements. The project released a split with Parasito on Murdered Records (2018) before issuing the full-length Drakaina (2023) via Kvlt und Kaos, a six-track record centered on serpent mythology.
Founded in Divinópolis in 2008, Perlokus is a raw black/death metal duo — VoidNecroLust and HEL Antichrist Revenge — who cite Sarcófago's INRI as the defining template for their sound: primitive, blasphemic, and chaotic. After years of demos and a brief name change to Ritos Abominaveis, they returned as Perlokus and released two full-lengths, Ainda Morto e Decomposto (2016) and Hóstia Podre (2019) via Brazilian Ritual Records, both cementing their place in the South American underground extreme metal tradition.
Phantom Menace traffic in occult-drenched speed and black metal with a vampyric edge, releasing a rapid string of singles and EPs in 2023 including All the Witches Hail, Chained in Lust, and the Night Galleries collection. Their raw, first-wave-informed attack pulls from the same vein as early Bathory and Venom with a Brazilian underground sensibility.
Founded in Guarulhos in 2001 as a solo project by Aron "Sodomic" Dick, Power from Hell started as a raw tribute to the first-wave black/thrash tradition of Bathory, Venom, and Hellhammer before progressively darkening into straight black metal. The band built a substantial discography over two decades—including "Sadismo" (2007), "Lust and Violence" (2011), and "Profound Evil Presence" (2019)—before signing to Debemur Morti Productions and releasing "Shadows Devouring Light" in 2022.
One-person black/death metal project from Athayde Neto, a prolific Bahian extreme metal figure also behind Adumbrall, Töhil, Cosmic Sepulcher, and Wiseblood. Primitive Enchantment channels the rawer, more chaotic end of his output, rooted in the convergence of second-wave black metal atmosphere and death metal brutality.
Pyramidum is a black/death metal band from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2022 and driven by themes of occultism, vitalism, and misanthropy. The band released their debut promo EP, El Halo del Sol, in 2023, which included three original tracks alongside a cover of Slayer's "Sex, Murder, Art."
